AlmaChapter21

v1.10.1

Now when Ammon and his brethren separated themselves in the borders of the land of the Lamanites, behold Aaron took his journey towards the land which was called by the Lamanites, Jerusalem, calling it after the land of their fathers’ nativity; and it was away joining the borders of Mormon.

Now the Lamanites and the Amalekites and the people of Amulon had built a great city, which was called Jerusalem.

Now the Lamanites of themselves were sufficiently hardened, but the Amalekites and the Amulonites were still harder; therefore they did cause the Lamanites that they should harden their hearts, that they should wax strong in wickedness and their abominations.

And it came to pass that Aaron came to the city of Jerusalem, and first began to preach to the Amalekites. And he began to preach to them in their synagogues, for they had built synagogues after the order of the Nehors; for many of the Amalekites and the Amulonites were after the order of the Nehors.

Therefore, as Aaron entered into one of their synagogues to preach unto the people, and as he was speaking unto them, behold there arose an Amalekite and began to contend with him, saying: What is that thou hast testified? Hast thou seen an angel? Why do not angels appear unto us? Behold are not this people as good as thy people?

Thou also sayest, except we repent we shall perish. How knowest thou the thought and intent of our hearts? How knowest thou that we have cause to repent? How knowest thou that we are not a righteous people? Behold, we have built sanctuaries, and we do assemble ourselves together to worship God. We do believe that God will save all men.

Now Aaron said unto him: Believest thou that the Son of God shall come to redeem mankind from their sins?

And the man said unto him: We do not believe that thou knowest any such thing. We do not believe in these foolish traditions. We do not believe that thou knowest of things to come, neither do we believe that thy fathers and also that our fathers did know concerning the things which they spake, of that which is to come.

Now Aaron began to open the scriptures unto them concerning the coming of Christ, and also concerning the resurrection of the dead, and that there could be no redemption for mankind save it were through the death and sufferings of Christ, and the atonement of his blood.

And it came to pass as he began to expound these things unto them they were angry with him, and began to mock him; and they would not hear the words which he spake.

Therefore, when he saw that they would not hear his words, he departed out of their synagogue, and came over to a village which was called Ani-Anti, and there he found Muloki preaching the word unto them; and also Ammah and his brethren. And they contended with many about the word.

And it came to pass that they saw that the people would harden their hearts, therefore they departed and came over into the land of Middoni. And they did preach the word unto many, and few believed on the words which they taught.

Nevertheless, Aaron and a certain number of his brethren were taken and cast into prison, and the remainder of them fled out of the land of Middoni unto the regions round about.

And those who were cast into prison suffered many things, and they were delivered by the hand of Lamoni and Ammon, and they were fed and clothed.

And they went forth again to declare the word, and thus they were delivered for the first time out of prison; and thus they had suffered.

And they went forth whithersoever they were led by the Spirit of the Lord, preaching the word of God in every synagogue of the Amalekites, or in every assembly of the Lamanites where they could be admitted.

And it came to pass that the Lord began to bless them, insomuch that they brought many to the knowledge of the truth; yea, they did convince many of their sins, and of the traditions of their fathers, which were not correct.

And it came to pass that Ammon and Lamoni returned from the land of Middoni to the land of Ishmael, which was the land of their inheritance.

And king Lamoni would not suffer that Ammon should serve him, or be his servant.

But he caused that there should be synagogues built in the land of Ishmael; and he caused that his people, or the people who were under his reign, should assemble themselves together.

And he did rejoice over them, and he did teach them many things. And he did also declare unto them that they were a people who were under him, and that they were a free people, that they were free from the oppressions of the king, his father; for that his father had granted unto him that he might reign over the people who were in the land of Ishmael, and in all the land round about.

And he also declared unto them that they might have the liberty of worshiping the Lord their God according to their desires, in whatsoever place they were in, if it were in the land which was under the reign of king Lamoni.

And Ammon did preach unto the people of king Lamoni; and it came to pass that he did teach them all things concerning things pertaining to righteousness. And he did exhort them daily, with all diligence; and they gave heed unto his word, and they were zealous for keeping the commandments of God.

When Ammon and his brothers split up at the borders of the Lamanite lands, Aaron set out for the land the Lamanites called Jerusalem, named after the land where their fathers were born. It lay off along the borders of Mormon. The Lamanites, Amalekites, and people of Amulon had built a large city there, which they called Jerusalem. The Lamanites on their own were hardened enough, but the Amalekites and the Amulonites were harder still, so they pushed the Lamanites to harden their hearts and to grow strong in wickedness and their abominations.

Aaron came to the city of Jerusalem and began preaching to the Amalekites first. He preached to them in their synagogues. They had built these after the order of the Nehors because many of the Amalekites and the Amulonites belonged to that order.

So when Aaron went into one of their synagogues to preach and was speaking to the people, an Amalekite stood up and began arguing with him: "What is this you've testified? Have you seen an angel? Why don't angels appear to us? Aren't our people as good as yours? You also say that unless we repent, we'll be destroyed. How do you know the thoughts and intent of our hearts? How do you know we have any reason to repent? How do you know we aren't a righteous people? We've built sanctuaries, and we gather to worship God. We do believe that God will save all people."

Aaron said to him, "Do you believe that the Son of God will come to redeem people from their sins?"

The man said to him, "We don't believe you know any such thing. We don't believe in these foolish traditions. We don't believe you know anything about the future. We don't believe your fathers or ours knew what they were talking about when they spoke of it."

Aaron began opening the scriptures to them about the coming of Christ and the resurrection of the dead. He taught that there could be no redemption for people except through the death and sufferings of Christ and the atonement of his blood. As he began explaining these things to them, they grew angry with him and mocked him. They wouldn't listen to a word he said.

So when he saw this, he left their synagogue and went over to a village called Ani-Anti. There he found Muloki preaching the word to the people, and Ammah and his brothers with him. They argued with many people about the word.

They saw that the people were going to harden their hearts, so they left and went over to the land of Middoni. They preached the word to many there, and few believed what they taught. Still, Aaron and a number of his brothers were arrested and thrown into prison, and the rest of them fled from there into the surrounding regions.

Those in prison suffered a great deal, but Lamoni and Ammon rescued them, and they were fed and clothed. They went out again to declare the word. That was the first time they were freed from prison, and that's what they had gone through.

They went wherever the Spirit of the Lord led them, preaching the word of God in every Amalekite synagogue and every Lamanite gathering where they were allowed in. The Lord began blessing them, so that they brought many people to the knowledge of the truth. They convinced many of their sins and of the traditions of their fathers, which weren't correct.

Ammon and Lamoni returned from Middoni to the land of Ishmael, which was the land of their inheritance. King Lamoni wouldn't let Ammon serve him or be his servant. Instead, he had synagogues built there, and he had his people, everyone under his rule, gather together.

He rejoiced over them and taught them many things. He also told them that they were under his rule and that they were a free people, free from the oppression of the king, his father, because his father had granted him the right to reign over the people in the land of Ishmael and in all the surrounding land. He also told them that they were free to worship the Lord their God however they wished, wherever they were, as long as it was in the land under his own rule.

Ammon preached to King Lamoni's people and taught them everything that had to do with righteousness. He urged them daily, with all diligence, and they listened to his word and were eager to keep the commandments of God.
